Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 91: Consecutive Withdrawals

A bundle of firewood was carried back to the yard by Xu Yi and Lu Ke.

These firewoods were all wet and must be dried before they can be ignited.

In the evening, Xu Yi planned to stack the firewood into a wooden tower for drying.

This way, they could fire the pottery tomorrow. The rain kept on, the humidity in the air increased, and if the pottery embryo was not fired, Xu Yi worried that Lu Ke’s efforts would be wasted.

At 6:30 in the evening, Xu Yi and Lu Ke sat around the fire.

The water in the pot was boiling, and Lu Ke placed four crabs into the pot.

After all, the pot was not large, and couldn’t hold too many crabs.

"I love eating crabs the most, wonder how crabs taste on an alien planet."

"Absolutely delicious, Xu Yi will surely say better than the ones in our world."

"Stop talking, I’m drooling on my phone."

"Then stop looking, I fear you’ll eat your phone later."

"When can the two worlds be connected? If they can go, we should be able to too. I want to travel and eat wild food."

"You have such a beautiful thought, if it were that easy, 3 billion people wouldn’t be applying, only 1,000 can go."

"Heard the one at the camp was a Star Gate, cross it and you’re on that planet. Now, there should be many soldiers on that planet, right?"

"I guess none, if there were, no need for civilians to explore that planet."

"Loli Ke is really beautiful, unbeatable without makeup."

"Crab cooks easily, overcooked won’t taste good."

"You think this is our world? Of course, cook longer to be safe. Seafood easily causes diarrhea. If diarrhea, it’d be terrible."

Lu Ke glanced at the pot, showing an expectant look, and said: "Should be ready to eat, right?"

"It’s definitely done, take them out, cook the remaining ones. While they’re not dead, eat them first." Xu Yi was equally expectant, as it was their first time eating crabs from this planet.

"Alright." Lu Ke nodded fiercely, took out the four crabs, and put four more in.

In the bowl, four red crabs emitted fragrance.

Feeling the temperature was about right, Lu Ke grabbed one and untied the bark string on top.

Xu Yi also took one, untied it, and then tore off a leg to put in his mouth.

The shell was hard, Xu Yi bit it open directly.

"Mm, delicious, so sweet, so fresh, too tasty." Lu Ke first shared a sentiment.

Xu Yi responded to Lu Ke with his actions, his mouth never stopped. Besides, he wouldn’t miss any bit of crab meat.

Compared to lamb or wolf meat slices, the crab’s taste was truly delicious.

There were 13 crabs in total, Xu Yi ate 6.

Though not full, he was very satisfied.

"You eat this one." Xu Yi placed the last crab in Lu Ke’s bowl and then put shells into the pot to boil.

"Then I won’t be polite, the crabs here are so delicious, but still a bit few. If one could get full from eating crabs, how great." Lu Ke said while untying the bark string on the crab.

Seeing Lu Ke like this, Xu Yi couldn’t help but smile.

Foodies are foodies, not reserved at all when it comes to food.

If it was other things, Lu Ke would certainly let Xu Yi have it.

But for food, sorry, nothing refused.

After eating some shells, they were full. The rest were kept in saltwater for tomorrow morning.

After dinner, they began working, slowly stacking the firewood into a tall tower, then lit a pile of fire in the middle, so it could bake the firewood.

The two cooperated, spending over three hours, setting up three firewood towers.

With these firewood towers, Xu Yi felt much relieved.

If on rainy days there’s no way to start a fire, it’s very troubling, even food couldn’t be heated or cooked.

"Xu Yi, those teams that withdrew probably haven’t started a fire or eaten in days." Looking at the five stacked wood towers, Lu Ke also felt very relieved.

"Probably, they’ve persisted for so many days, survival ability must be good. But weather cannot be changed by manpower." Xu Yi added firewood to the towers as he spoke. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The previously accumulated firewood was almost burnt out, tomorrow relied on these five small towers.

"It’s past 10 now, with a total of 21 teams withdrawing, this rain is so untimely." Lu Ke commented, not knowing what the organizer’s ultimate purpose was, but could make so many countries concerned, even set a huge prize to stimulate victory, there must be a special purpose.

billion, what immense wealth.

Moreover, only those who persist until 500 days can get this huge reward.

Key is, this huge reward has no limit on the number of recipients, not distributed by team, but each person gets a 1 billion reward.

days get 4 million, more than a 900 million difference from 500 days.

Doesn’t this clearly tell you to persist another hundred days?

"Indeed many eliminated today, now only three hundred plus teams left." Xu Yi glanced at the fire, feeling sleepiness constantly hit.

"No idea how many teams will persist for 500 days." Lu Ke played with a small branch, looking scattered.

"Should be us." Xu Yi grinned, boasting a bit.

Lu Ke first smiled, then nodded vigorously.

"Actually, this isn’t a simple survival challenge, right?" Lu Ke glanced at Xu Yi, felt there were many stories behind it.

"Involving higher civilization won’t be simple. Anyway, I feel if there aren’t eventual victors, maybe there will be not-so-good things happening." Xu Yi stood up, took out a piece of wolf jerky.

Handing it to Lu Ke, Lu Ke didn’t accept.

Xu Yi took a bite of wolf jerky, chewed a few times.

"Do you think multiple countries know but didn’t tell us?" Lu Ke threw the branch into the fire, clapped hands.

After all, they advertised the challenge tasks, rewards were set by them.

"Don’t dwell on these, since we’re in, survive well. After 500 days, I believe everyone will know the answer." Xu Yi felt discussing this issue seemed less meaningful.

However, through this matter, Xu Yi realized Lu Ke wasn’t just a clueless little girl, there were actually many things on her mind.

"What you say makes sense, even if we think hard it’s useless. After all, that civilization won’t stand up and tell us." Lu Ke stuck out her tongue, stood up, took out stones from the fire, and prepared hot water for Xu Yi to wash.

After all, Xu Yi didn’t sleep last night, worked all day today, needed to rest early.
